quicktime sucks!!

Oh God, we've been through this many many MANY times. Please look at the quicktime 7 requirements listed on the Apple website: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/hdgallery/recommendations.html

There is a search function for the forums in case you didn't know.

 

Maybe your computer is running at "reduced" speed, you can change it at the Preferences Pane (make it full speed when you want to watch the Quicktime video). About the fullscreen: that's a Quicktime Pro only option. About the media players: there's a few good ones out there, try MPlayer and VLC.

 

i get this problem all the time with internet stuff like the apple keynotes off the apple site, they always bitch at me and go sooooo slow, even though i got kick ass internet connection and a decent mac

 

Wiretap or AudioHijack are both good programs for that.

 

Yeah, I think that apple made the wrong move here. Quicktime has crashed on me twice in my G5 (see sig) but the old quicktime had no crashes whatsoever. Really, I would prefer apple would simply release the old quicktime with just the H.264 and mpeg-4 improved codecs implemented.

Quicktime 7 is not as good as it should be.

 

My G4 iMac (800Mhz) plays all the quicktime content i throw at it, even h.264 (excluding the hd stuff of course), most of the apple streams play fine too, i had 1 momentary drop out on the last WWDC keynote

Even my 300Mhz G3 iBook can manage the majority of movies upto about 20Mb


imo, you have a quicktime problem of some sort, no idea what though , or i'm just extremely lucky

 

Are you talking about HD quicktime movies? If not I'm not sure why you'd be having trouble. My old 450 mhz G4 used to let me play 3 or 4 movies at a time. My G5 has no problems doing anything either.

 

My quicktime plays almost everything i try to play. Now if you are trying to play porno films it could be the codec, and VLC will play those for you
